QUICK REVIEW:              
Ever since the release of NBA 2K2 on the DreamCast, Visual Concepts has shown they know how to capture the spirit of basketball perfectly in a videogame.  Many have tried to dethrone the 2K series, but all have failed.  Now with the release of NBA 2K2 on the PS2, gamers are treated to the ultimate version of the ultimate basketball videogame franchise.  All the options and modes you have come to expect from the series can be found, including: create-a-team, create-a-player, franchise, street ball, practice and more.  But all the options in the world would never make up for shoddy gameplay and luckily NBA 2K2 does not disappoint in this category.  In fact, the amazing gameplay is hands-down the best feature of the game.  Every aspect of basketball, from the post-up game to the pick and roll, is handled flawlessly and will draw you in like no other b-ball game currently available.  All in all, NBA2K2 is easily the best basketball game for the PS2 and all fans of the sport, or sports fans in general, should consider it a must have.
